Hi.
Haven't been on the forum in a while, though do check in and read up every so often....
In short, I'm 38yrs, 6ft, 280lb (about 20/25% bf) and been training for about 20yrs.
HST 'vanilla-flavour' (as Bob Evans calls it!) since 2002.
Training's always been ok - especially since HST (after years of HIT)
My weakness has always been my diet - hence the high bf%.
I've been off training for a month, thanks to a slipped disc.... oh, and two weeks at Disney, Florida!
So, I'm starting training again this coming week. Just need some back to basics advice on diet please guys.
I'm looking at bwt X 16 (4200 kcals) with 25% being protein (about 280g) the rest primarily complex carbs?
Is this still about right? I've tried high protein diets (up to 400g per day) over the years, and made some good progress, but re-reading Bryan's diet plan, he suggests anything over 1g/lb bwt, or 25% of daily Kcals, is a waste?
I'm looking for a bit more muscle growth, as lean as possible ideally.
Any advice always welcome.
Thank you
